The name "Serrano" is based on that of the Porsche Cayenne as both cars names are chili peppers (this also applies to the Habanero). The Serrano's name could also be a reference to the name of the real life vehicle the Nissan Terrano, although the Terrano barely looks like the Serrano. It also sounds like the Tagalog word "sirana", which means broken, possibly refering to the 2nd generation Volkswagen Touareg's extremely poor reliability.

Serrano's Engine

Performance

The Serrano is equipped with a 6.5L V12 engine which produces a high amount of torque, and acheive an impressive top speed of 155mph (249km/h). The Serrano comes with an excellent four-wheel drive setup which allows the Serrano to operate exceptionally good off-road. In terms of handling, the Serrano's cornering performance is average due to its excess weight, and the Serrano tends to suffer from understeer around tight bends. Although the Serrano and the Huntley Sport compete for the fastest SUV, the Serrano is considered to be better because it has a higher top speed, and is easier to use on off-road courses.

Variants

A modified version of the Serrano is available with a full bodykit with lowered suspension, a custom chromed grille with a large Benefactor emblem in the middle, and wheels ressembling those of the Sentinel XS wrapped in low-profile tires. It also comes with tinted windows, and may have a two-tone color with the top and part of the hood being a metallic variant of the vehicle's main color, just like the modified Schafter.

This modified Serrano improves over the existing performances with a significantly lighter weight, and improved engine output and brakes, allowing the variant to corner better, brake in shorter distances and move faster. These traits rank the modified Serrano as one of the better performing SUVs in the game with a top speed of 200mph (320km/h).

Trivia

According to the badging, the Schafter and the Serrano share the same engine. This the same with most AMG models.
